Abstract
The synchronous association of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the kidney and transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is reported. This constitutes the ninth case of MFH definitely arising from the renal capsule. Fever was its first clinical manifestation. Despite complete surgical removal, the tumor was rapidly fatal. The current literature about MFH of the kidney is extensively reviewed.
